PSG and Stoke flop Jese Rodriguez flouts social distancing rules as he jets to the Canary Islands to party with his on-off girlfriend Aurah Ruiz and friends for her birthday bash
- Jese Rodriguez headed to the Canary Islands around PSG’s defeat by Monaco
- The 27-year-old appears to have reunited with his on-off partner, Aurah Ruiz
- There is a rule of 10 in Gran Canaria but there didn’t look to be much social distancing between the PSG player and all of his friends
Stoke flop Jese Rodriguez has angered Paris Saint-Germain fans by ignoring social distancing recommendations after jetting to the Canary Islands to party with his on-off girlfriend.
The former Real Madrid star damaged his faltering career even further by flouting Covid-19 guidelines as his teammates lost to Monaco.
Jese, back with his WAG girlfriend Aurah Ruiz after an explosive split and social media attacks which ended up in a legal battle, was filmed letting his hair down with friends as he danced to reggaeton music at a luxury villa.

The 27-year-old took a private plane to make it to the bash to celebrate bikini-clad Aurah’s 31st birthday after he was given a few days off by his club.
Although the revellers appeared to be respecting the Rule of Ten which applies in their home island of Gran Canaria, footage they posted online showed there were no face masks in sight and lots of kissing and cuddling going on.
One of the partygoers could be seen smoking a Hookah pipe despite them being declared off-limits in bars because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Angry PSG fans have called for his immediate expulsion from the club. One raged: ‘Kick him out now before he causes a coronavirus outbreak.’
Jese, who earns nearly £4.5 million a year but has not played a single minute of his team’s last seven games, has yet to comment on the controversy.

His ugly break-up with Aurah, who made a name for herself on a Spanish TV dating show, made headlines while he was at Stoke on a disappointing loan spell between August 2017 and May 2018.
He scored just one goal in 13 games in a period marked by his regular returns back to Spain after the son he has with his on-off partner was diagnosed with a serious illness.
Aurah accused him of failing her in the battle to help Ryan regain full health when he was in hospital in Gran Canaria and he ended up reporting her for harassment.
The dad-of-three, who has two children with a previous partner, announced his relationship with the outspoken model was over while he was with the then-Premier League side.
They sparked rumours of a surprising reunion earlier this year after being pictured together at an amusement park in Gran Canaria.

The following year, Jese had gone from Paris to Stoke but struggled to produce his finest form
His private plane to her birthday party, where he gifted her a pair of £700 Christian Dior trainers, confirmed they are an item again.
Jese made his Real Madrid debut in December 2011 and scored some crucial roles with the legendary Spanish side before a serious knee injury kept him out of competitive football for eight months and sparked the start of the decline that has continued until today.
He had loan spells with Las Palmas, Stoke, Real Betis and Sporting Lisbon after signing for PSG in August 2016 for five years.
He has made more headlines over the past four years for his colourful private life off the pitch rather than on it.
When he is not playing football, Jese doubles up as a reggaeton singer.
